Default Girlfriend complains about ....

Well she loves the way the car looks on the outside, but she won't stop complaining about the inside, and she weights a woping 105 pounds and when she sits on the passenger seat her head bobs back and forth since the seat doesn't stay straight, it just wiggles, is there a way to adjust it? Im going to be getting the whole ebony interior swapped in soon as I find a donor car in the junkyard, is it the seat? If no one is sitting on it I can move that seat back and forth real easily it adjustest back and forth but when it's "locked" it still moves like 2-4 inches either way,

So list of questions...

Seat adjustment
What are the best things to sound deaden to make it a quieter? Im getting a e-cutout so when she's not in the car Im going to open it up .

Thanks guys!

Tell her to put your manhood in her mouth... That will shut her up.

What part of the seat moves?
Just the back or does the seat bottom "flex"?

My driver's side seat had some serious flex in the seat bottom. When I dissassembled the seat, I found a large crack in the seat-bottom frame. It was a vertical crack through one the left side bolt holes (there the back and bottom are attached) and through part of the bottom of the frame too ). My father and I had to hammer it back into shape and get it welded and reinforced.

Here is a post where I discuss it further:

New g/f time?

If you fix the seat, she is probably going to find something else to complain about, so find someone that appreciates the interior and exterior of the car.

If you really want to keep her and make her appreciate your car more, buy a POS beater and take her out a few times in it, she will never complain about the Camaro again

My passenger seat used to rattle too, turned out the bolts holding the seat to the roll frame weren't tightened. I torqued those up and now its great.
